How to run integration tests with maven failsafe when pom.xml has <skipITs>true</skipITs&gt-CodePudding

I've set true in pom.xml but I want to be able to run tests when I wish to run them. I've tried mvn -Prun-its clean verify and mvn verify -DskipITs=false but they're not working, the tests are skipped still.

The added plugin in the pom.xml is as follows:

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <skipITs>true</skipITs>
                    <parallel>methods</parallel>
                    <useUnlimitedThreads>true</useUnlimitedThreads>
                    <forkCount>1</forkCount>
                    <reuseForks>true</reuseForks>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>integration-test</goal>
                            <goal>verify</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
                        <artifactId>surefire-junit47</artifactId>
                        <version>${surefire-version}</version>
                    </dependency>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
                        <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
                        <version>${junit-jupiter-version}</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>
            </plugin>

In the output of mvn verify -DskipITs=false I can see the following:

[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.22.2:verify (default) @ redis-service-integration-tests ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.

CodePudding user response：

You must change the plugin configuration to be like this:

  <skipITs>${skipITs}</skipITs>

Explanation: to make the property mechanism work, you should use the project properties <properties> to set the skipITs instead of the plugin configuration, otherwise it can't be easily overridden from outside.
